THE YES ALBUM

This is for me an absolute masterpiece of rock music! In this album Steve Howe join the band and bring more complexity and technical skills than Peter Bank. The three classics "Starship Trooper", "Yours is no disgrace" and "I've seen all goods people" win the test of times. "Yours is no disgrace is one of my favourite "yessong", it begins with a great guitar and keybord riff and progresses with the excellent dinamic howe guitar solo, there's no other words to describe this great song.....majestic and monumental! "Starship Troopers" it's another classic and it'is divided in three parts, with one of my favourite acoustic guitar interlude, while the last part is characterized by the ripetitive and hypnotic sequence of chords, that ends with a great howe solo. "I've seen all good people" it begins with the acoustic section and wonderfull vocal harmonies by Andersson and the chorus(Squire and Howe) ; it ends with the final rock 'n' roll part, with the great vocal and electric guitar refrain. The "Venture" is the only good song between these monumental classics, while "Perpetual Change" is the most underrated song of the album, a great bluesy opener that progresses in different complex variations. "Clap" is the first acoustic instrumental jewel by Steve Howe. A must in every serious prog rock collection!!
